IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS
DOOLEY, KIPLING AND AN ENGLISH CRITIC.
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
ONE of the leading literary chron
iclers of. England, who 4s a sturdy
defender of Kipling's point of view
In "The Islanders," Is very joyful over
the discovery In "Iooley's Opinions" of
the same sort of a standpoint, in eplte of
the fact that Dooley has himself severely
criticised Kipling's "wurrukln pomes."
It Is in his dissertation on athletics that
Mr. Dooley has'committed himself.
"Why is England losin her supre
macy, Hlnnissy? Because Englishmen get
down to their Jobs at illvin o'clock flgur
ln' a goluf scoor on their cuffs an' lave
at e. quarter to twelve on a bicycle. . . .
Ye can't keep yer eye on the ball an'
on th' money at th' same time. Ye've
got to bo wan thing or another In this
worruld. I niver knew a good card player
or a great sportsman that cud do much of
annything else. . '. . Did ye iver hear
lv Grant wearin' any medals f'r a hun-dherd-yard
dash? Did annywan lver tell
ye lv th' number iv base hits made be
Abraham Lincoln. Is- there anny, record
lv Geprgc Washln'ton doin a turn on a

money f'r throwln' th' hammer? In me
younger days 'twas not considered ray
Epictable f r to be an athlete. An ath
lete was always a man that was not
Bthrong enough f r wurruk. Fractions

Irrigation, in. the United States.
irrigation in the United States. By Frederick
Haynes Newell, Chief of Division of Hydrog
raphy of the United States Geological Survey.
"With 150 illustration maps, drawings and
half-tones.
This Is the keynote: "The forest and
iwater problems are perhaps the most vital
internal questions of th6 United States."
Theodore Roosevelt.
Probably the average citizen of this
(country would be surprised to learn that
wo-flfths of our National territory Is
almost unknown and yet remains to be
developed and made habitable. We have
been so Intent on legislating good har
bors and waterways into existence, and
In external territorial expansion, that we
have not paid commensurate attention to
the great problem of putting to use the
-vast resources of the West Although a
(beginning has been made 'in the way- of
reclamation of the arid lands by Irriga
tion, the greater part of the work re
mains to be done.
In line "with this question, Mr. Newell's
Jaook Is timely. He la one of the most
capable writers of such a work In this
country, his long official and practical
experience giving him authority in his
utterances. But he has not brought to
gether the abundance of material here
presented Into a dry. technical treatise
the typical flavor of a Government report.
Instead he has given a lucid, compre
hensive and entertaining study of some 500
pages, which commands attention from
start to finish, and leaves the reader with
a much better Idea of a great problem
than he could possibly get In the same
length of time elsewhere. He has wrlt
len clearly and simply, avoiding technical
terms, of the problems of home-making
in the desert, showing what has been
done In certain regions and what will be
done in others. Homcseekers will thus
find the work of the most immediate util
ity. They will be made acquainted with
the amount and desirability of the public
land, the natural resources of particular
territories and the probable line of devel
opment to be pursued. A somewhat ele
mentary and popular description of irri
gation and of the devices for obtaining
and distributing water is given, including
details of interest to persons who are be
ginning to give attention to the subject.
More space is devoted to the crude but
effective home-made contrivances than to
the elaborate or expensive machinery pur
chased from manufacturers, for the suc
cess of Irrigation depends most largely
upon the rough-and-ready Ingenuity of
the first settlers in a new country In
adapting their ways to the environment.
Dr. Newell's work will undoubtedly be
taken as authority. It covers the'' topic
adequately and accurately. The presence
of many full-pace illustrations, sketches
and diagrams assist the reader and lend
both interest and beauty to an Important
volume.
The BlncU Cat Club.
The Black Cat Club, by James D. Corrothcre.
Silhouette illustrations by J. K. Bryans.
Funk & Wagnalls Company.
Mr. Corrothers, a negro, writes of the
negro; not seriously, though he puts in
many of the negro's faults. Generally
in a tumorous vein, 'he describes the
black man, who, coming from, every
state in the South, now numbers In
Chicago more than 75,000. The home of
the Black Cat Club is Chicago. This
Is a literary, not a poker club. 1
Mr. Corrothers paints his people Just
as he sees them from inside, which Is
the humorous side. Unlike Paul Lau
rence Dunbar, he is not an idealist He
has made character studies of the mem
,bers of the Black Cat Club, puts poetry
Into their hearts, folk lore on their
tongues and songs of the soil on their
lips. He is a master of dialect. A- little
love story which runs through the
sketches adds to their interest. The
Black Cat Club -will appeal to negroes
and to their white brethren who take
an Interest in the quaint and humor
ous phases of the negro character.
The Lady of Xew Orleans.
The Lady of New Orleans, by M. E. Thornton.
The Abbey Press, New York.
Colonel Marcellus E. Thornton, a well
know figure In Georgia journalistic cir
cles of a generation ago, has issued
another of his Interesting novels from
the Abbey Press, New York, called "The
Xady of New Orleans." In many respects
this Is one of the most remarkable
stories published within the past 20 years.
It deals with the modern type of money
getting, and looking a bit into the future
makes the present average millionaire
appear a financial pigmy compared to
the modern Monte Cristo, as described
by Colonel Thornton. At the same time,
with the marvellous resources of the
American Continent, there is nothing at
all Inconsistent in the theme as dis
cussed by him. He depicts in vivid
fashion the gayety of life in' New Or
leans, and some of the principal chap
ters are laid In that historic city.
Lacbxnl Bnl.
Xachmi BaL by Captain Michael White. J. F.
Taylor & Co.
An historical novel which deals with
the Sepoy Revolution. Lachml Bal is
one of the most picturesque characters
in the history of India, where she Is
regarded as a Joan of Arc She was a
woman of extraordinary ability and
power and of marvelous charm.
The novel was written with every hon
est effort to be true to history, to give
both sides of the question a fair rep
resentation, thus to show the efforts of
the Princess to recover her lost posses
sions, and of the English to hold pos
sessions, which they had grown to
regard as their own. The author. Cap
tain Michael White, was born In India
and served as an officer in the British
Army.
Passes.
Passes, or tho Beauty of Transportation, by
Auguste Faure. The Lord Baltimore Press.
In a semi-humorous way Mr. Faure
points out an evil that the railroads of
the country would be glad to crush. He
writes like a man who has seen service in
general railroad offices and he tells many
incidents that are doubtless based on
fact. His conclusion Is that free pas
sengers have grown to be too great a bur
den on stockholders and In the end on
the public, but he does not point out a
remedy that can be enforced under ex
isting conditions.
Franlc It. Stockton's Latest.
Kate Bonnet: The Romance of a Pirate's
Daughter. By FraiJk R. Stockton. Illus
trated by A. L Keller and H. S. Potter. D.
Applelon & Co.
A genuine Stockton story; the impos
sible, of course, but as he tells it, a seem
ingly natural story, the central figure be
ing not Kate Bonnet, but her father. He
Is a sugar planter of Barbadoes. Having
tired of a cat-and-dog life 'with his sec
ond wife, and, excited "by tales of buc
caneers, he buys a vessel and fits It out
for a voyage of piracy. He is not a sailor,
so Stockton uses this Ignorance to good
advantage. Kate, who Is dutiful, high
minded and beautiful, with much spirit,
seeks to find her father and win him
back from his career of crime. Devoted
friends who are in love with her give
valuable aid. While the tale Is rather too
long in the telling, It docs not grow tire
some. Stockton never falls to Interest
and entertain. The Illustrations add at
tractiveness. Verba Grncis.
Verba Crucls. by Rev. T. Calvin McClelland.
Thomas Y. Crowell & Co.
A most dainty little volume, particularly
appropriate for Easter. The author tries
to give a new meaning to the words of
Christ uttered from the cross. Ho dis
plays xlosc sympathy and chooses lan
guage well befitting his noble theme.
"We stand at the Holy of Hplies of
Jesus' sorrow. Here the heart must bo
high-priest the heart purged from curi
osity and clothed with reverence; the
heart alone may raise the veil and enter
the mysterious shadow of this solitude."
Melomnnlacs.
Melomanlacs, by James Ilunckcr, Charles
Scrlbners Sons.
A well-written satire on fads in music
and by musicians. The author shows, in
a spirit not generous, indeed scarcely
fair, the true life of musicians, whether
singers, players or "tone poets," that is
to say, the true life as he sees It. No
doubt he tells much that is strictly true,
but much of it Is certainly exaggerated.
Still, his work is very interesting. ,
Literary Xotcs.
Mr. Leslie Stephen has been appointed
Ford lecturer of English history at Ox
ford. The author of "Love Sonnets of a Hood
lum," Wallace Irwin, Is publishing a sec
ond volume with Elder & Shepard, of San
Francisco. It bears the title of "The
Rubalyat of Omar Khayyan, Jr."
Dr. Samuel Mlnturn Peck Is well known
as the author of several sprightly books
of society verse and similar artistic trifles.
He is now about to publish, through A
C. McClurg & Co., a book of "Alabama
Sketches."
Doubleday, Page & Company are
shortly to publish a portfolio of "Nature
Portraits" intended to show the fas
cination of real wild life and the latest
achievements of nature photography.
The pictures include live birds, animals,
fishes, and Insects, and are the best
work as such men as A Radclyffe Dug
more, W. E. Carlin, A. G. Wallihan,
Herbert K. Job and L. W. Brownell.
A new volume by Andrew Carngele
entitled "The Empire of Business," will
be published by Doubleday, Page & Com
pany in April. It will comprise a dozen
chapters giving, It is said, Mr. Carnegie's
most direct opinions on fortune winning
and the uses of wealth, together with
discussions on principles of I ndustrial
enterprise, tariff, and many matters
that interest the man of affairs. t
"Forces In Fiction," which is the at
tractive title Dr. Richard Burton has
given his latest volume, is a collection
of essays on subjects In which reading
people are more interested today than
ever before. The essays are not techni
cal, but appeal most delightfully to the
average reader who cares to consider lit
erature as an art, who enjoys being told
how particular effects are produced and
who Is Interested In knowing why he
likes certain things and why certain lit
erary fashions come and go.
Some of the famous names are asso
ciated with the scene of Charles. Major's
new novel "'Dorothy Vernon of Haddon
Hall." Its neighborhood is one of tho
most Interesting in England. Not far
from It is Chatsworth. where Walter
Scott was often seen, and whero Byron
met fair Mary Chatworth, the heiress
of Annesley. Not- far to the south of
It is Leehurst, where Florence Nightin
gale used to live, while to the north of
It is the grave of Little John, famous
in the Robin Hood legend.
More than usual Importance attaches
to the announcement that Messrs.
Thomas Y. Crowell & Company havo
their new edition of the complete works
of Edgar Allen Poe nearly ready for Is
suance. This edition was announced
over a year ago, but the discovery of
valuable new material led to a revision
and enlargement of the edition and
necessitated delay. The chief editor is
Professor James A Harrison, of the Uni
versity of Virginia Poe's alma mater
who has been assisted by two other pro
fessors of- that university and several
editorial assistants. Access has been
had to original sources manuscripts and
letters with a result that will at once
be apparent to the Poe specialist. It
Is confidently believed that the "Vir
ginia Edition" of Poe will take . its
merited place as the definitive printing
of his works.
Louisa M. Alcott's "Little Women" has
long been one of the half dozen Juve
niles most In demand at the New York
Public Library, but it remained for Ar
thur E. Bostwlck. chief of the circula
tion department of that institution, to as
certain for the boy and girl patrons thelf
reasons forheir preference. In his report
he states that Miss Alcott is much liked
for her naturalness. "Her boys and girls
arc mope like real boys and girls-' says
one answer. Others say "her stories are
more natural," "her stories are more real
than anybody's." "she seems to under
stand girls and their ways," "It is so
much like our own lives." "she under
stands children's feelings." One girl likes
this author because her books "are simple,
and therefore easy to understand," and
another "because they are not full of re
ligion." Still another, a boy, says quaint
ly that he likes Alcott "because sho tells
of merry hearts In the house."
Puck's Silver Jnbllcc.
The Issue of Puck of March 12 com
memorates the 25th anniversary of the first
appearance of that satirical weekly peri
odical in the English language. The first
issue of Puck appeared March li. 1S77.
Prior to that date Puck was published in
German and achieved a success almost
unprecedented in the annals of illustrated
journalism, and through tho remarkable
merit of Its cartoons, from the pen of Its
famous artist, Mr. Joseph Keppler, had
attracted the attention of our best Ameri
cen citizens. A demand was created for
an edition In English and in obedience to
it an independent English Humorous and,
Satirical Weekly with Keppler's cartoons,
both social and political, was established
25 year3 ago.
The anniversary issue, besides its usual
cartoons and comic features, contains a
history of the establishment, pictures of
various homes, pictures of Its founders,
the late Joseph Keppler and Adolph
Schwarzmann, who Is now president of the
Keppler & Schwarzmann Company, the
present publishers of Puck, and a portrait
of H. C Bunner, editor of Puck from 1SS7
until his death. In 1S&. Half-tone portraits
of a number of its more popular contrib
utors, old and- new. are also reproduced
in the edition. The number Is well got
ten up and Is a credit to ,the 25th birthday
of the popular weekly.

month. "Mazel" is a story of life In one
of the Southern universities, and deals
chiefly with a professor of French who
has not become entirely American, and a
little French governess who drops sud

VETERAN OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
'
MAJOR F. H. E. EDSTEIK.
A man who used to cut quite a swath in Army circles In the North
west has recently been appointed to the very important office of head
of the Police Department at Brooklyn. N. Y. He Is Major F. H. E. Eb
steln, who In tho '703 came to the Pacific Northwest and joined the gal
lant old Twepty-first Infantry, a regiment whose members did the hard
est kind of service In making the 'frontier habitable for the white mdn.
During the great Indian campaigns against the Nez Perces, Bannocks
and Snakes, Major Ebsteln wa3 Quartermaster, and he was a very active
and energetic one. He was in the field from start to finish, and did his
duty well. Many of the pioneers of the Northwest well remember him, to
gether with his energetic clerk, George H. Bonney. Tho Major was then
a Lieutenant, and in settling up the accounts of the campaigns millions
of money passed through his hands He. left Vancouver with the Twenty-first
about 38 years ago, and was In the thick of the battles during tho
Cuban campaign. When the regiment was ordered to the Philippines,
Major Ebsteln was retired at his own request, having served 35 consecu
tive years in the Army.

CANAL SCHEME GIVEN UP.
Seattle Understands That Govern
ment Will Xot Help.
Seattle Argus.
It Is humiliating to announce that,
after a 'fight lasting for nearly 20 years,
the Government canal between Puget
Sound and Lake Washington Is in a pre
carious situation. And it Is more humili
ating to be compelled to announce that
this result "has not been brought about
by the opposition of San Francisco, Port
land or Tacoma, but by a fight beginning
right here In Seattle, and which has
grown to such proportions that the entire
continent is to a more or less extent
Interested In it.
"When the proposition was first sprung
by one Ammldown to construct a canal
between Lako Washington and Puget
Sound, to cut through Beacon Hill, it
was laughed at as an imposslblo idea.
When, however. It developed that It was
intended to use the dirt to fill In the
tide lands it looked as if there might be
something, in it not that anybody ever
expected that the canal would be com
pleted, but they did believe that the
tide lands should be filled in, and this
appeared to be about the only "way that
dirt could be secured for this purpose.
Everybody will remember the fight
that ensued how those who wero Inter
ested in tho Government canal predicted
that the South canal would prevent the
completion of the Government work, and
the Ammldown crowd assured the Cham
ber of Commerce that it would not. It
will bo remembered that the Legisla
ture passed a law allowing this company
to fill up these tide lands, and to issue
scrip therefore which should be a Hen
on the property thus benefited. It will
he remembered that, in order to make
people believe that tho company really
Intended to build the canal, a subsidy
was asked for and. given by the people
of Seattle, the condition being that the
canal should be constructed in a certain
number of years. That time Is up long
ago, and the work, if work It may be
called. Is just being commenced.
A dredger was put to work, all the
lands for which there were any demand
were filled up, scrip was issued and sold,
and then the South canal work suddenly
terminated, and the chances are that It
would never have been heard from
again bad not the city begun to grow in
an unprecedented way.
When things began to pick up In Seat
tle, Eastern capitalists were interested
In the scheme and agreed to put up some
money, provided that Will H. Parry, In
whom they had the utmost confidence
as a business man nnd accountant,,
should have charge of the financial end
of the undertaking. This was agreed to,
and Mr. Parry has charge of these
Interests and has had for a number of
months.
Then came the completion of the Cedar
River water works, and the plant on
Lake Washington was leased to the
Waterway company. Then came an ordi
nance which was passed, to sell the sur
plus water from the Cedar River plant
to this company at the rate of 55 per
million gallons, or approximately at that
figure. This price, by the way. Is about
one-thirteenth of what Is being charged
in m-lvntfi rnnsiimprs nnd If nil th kiit-
lw TrnrA in hn cnlrJ nt tVinf nHon mnrynir
enntitrh -tvould not ho raised to nav tho.
interest on the bonded indebtedness.
TJp to this point I do not believe that
broad-minded business men -would havo
any fault to nnd with anybody connected
jvlth granting these privileges. The com
pany had been put In a position to make
a sreat deal of money, but the advan
tage to Seattle In the matter of filling
In tide flats, which it did not seem pos
sible to fill In any other way, would be
great.
Here, however. Is where the duplicity
comes in: After receiving all these con
cessions from the city and state this
company sendylts president to "Washing
ton, to lobby against the Government
canal, even after the County of King
had spent hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in securing the right of way, and
after people had been driven from their
homes, and after the fight of 20 years
was on the point of ending in victory.
Governor Semple is in Washington, and
he is and has been lobbying against
the canal. Ho promises that his- com
pany will. Inside of eight years, have the
South canal completed, and that they
will turn it over to the Government,
provided that Uncle Sam will build the
locks. The company reserves the water
power, which -means that the lake will
not be lowered one foot,' but that the
farmers, who have been taxed to secure
this right of way, will have their lands
flooded every year exactly the same as
at present.
The company also reserves the rail
road privileges on either bank, and this.
In connection with other facts, shows
conclusively that the railroad interests
are working with the South canal people,
and there seems to be no reason to
doubt that these influences will, unless
the people of Seattle awake and throttle
this company, defeat absolutely the Gov
ernment canal scheme
This, In brief, is the history of the
case up to the present time That the
---
i .
South canal people have been successful
Is shown by the fact not one dollar of
appropriation for the canal could be
secured. The $15,000 that was tacked on
to the general appropriation bill was dis
guised as an appropriation for the Im
provement of Shllshole Bay. Unless
something is done by the Chamber of
Commerce nnd by the business men gen
erally, the Government canal scheme Is
as dead today as If it had never been
thought of.
It is true that a canal will be built.
For the first time In its history the
South canal people can actually see a
chance of being something besides the
fake that people knew them to be when
they started but: It will not bo the Gov
ernment canal, and it will not accomplish
a number of things. Incidentally tho
lowering of the lake, which King County
people had hoped for from the Govern
ment. DARK AND BLOODY GROUND
A Xook In Kentucky "Where Lawless
ness Helens.
Chicago Tribune.
Of the many strange situations that
have been produced by the turns and
twists of tho Mississippi River none is
stranger and none so terrible in Its re
sults ss that in "Madrid Bend," where
the great stream, turning north from
Island No. 10, sweeps across the line
from Tennessee Into Kentucky, rounds
Into the Missouri shore, and then, sweep
ing southward, cuts the line again to
Tennessee. Thus it cuts off a'section of
Kentucky from the rest of the state, and
even from the county to whloh It be
longs, and, wrapping around it a coil of
its own wild waters, holds it aloof from
law and order, frorc right and justice and
clings to It as the last resort in which
may thrive the outlawry and crime which
half a century ago wero rampant along
the Tvhole river. There is probably no
other place In America today In the heart
of a civilized country where human lire
Is held so cheap as In this little region
that lies opposite New Madrid, Mo., and
pays Its .taxes at Hickman, Fulton
County, Ky.
This Is Kentucky Point, the home of
the Darnell-Watson feud. In which more
than -40 men are said to have been killed.
Four miles wide and about seven miles
leng. It Is settled as thickly as any farm
ing region In Eastern Kentucky, produces
enormous crops of cotton, which employe
hundreds of pickers, and Is always a
scene of activity. Yet It has neither
court nor Constable, Jail nor Jailer, and
acknowledges no law that does not accord
with Its own notions of justice. Many
months havo elapsed slnco a Sheriff
visited this region, and many years slnce
he took a prisoner out from it to stana
trial at tho Hickman Courthouse.
Yet a week seldom goes by that some
man Is not killed bx a. fellow somewhere
on the point. With the Mississippi on
every side but one, and Missouri across
It, and with Tennessee on the fourth
side, the murderer Is certain of easy es
cape before a Sheriff, 30 miles away, could
be notified and come to the scene. Tlie
state line runs but a short distance south
of Hickman, but from the capital, down
stream to Kentucky Point, In Madrid
Bend, Is more than 25 miles. Overland
there Is no direct passage, for the Inter
cepting region of Missouri lies along the
Bayou St John and James Bayou, which
are Impassable swamps, and which have
themselves been the home of terrible
lawlessness. By land through Tennessee
Is almost as Impassable, for It Is cut by
! ReelfOrd LttkC and
the surrounding
Only the water
. SWamps and bayous,
route, therefore, remains for the Sheriff
or officer who would go from Hickman to
the Point, and to travel on this he must
either use a skiff or wait for a steamer,
which may be a week In coming.

Detroit Free Press.
"I'm not nearly so stout as I used to be,
and if you guessed your head off you could
not guess how I have reduced my
weight," remarked one of those genial,
heavy-set business men.
"No," he went on, "I haven't been diet
ing, or I haven't been taking any anti
corpulent medicine; no, nor massage, nor
Turkish baths. Give it up? I've been
playing ball."
"Ball!" everybody laughed. "Baseball,

getting too stout, and had better go to
see our doctor. So I went to his office
takes my breath awfully to climb his
flight of stairs, too and he was at
breakfast. As I waited, one of his little
girls came flying into the office, a sweet
little thing. Just dressed for breakfast
as clean as a pin with a pretty white
apron on, and neat little pigtails of brown
hair tied up in blue ribbons.
"She didn't notice me any more than if
I had been a wooden Indian, but ran
right over to the marble hearth and be
gan bouncing a rubber ball with all her
might and main. That was all she ha
come in for the stone hearth suited her,
and she wanted a little game of ball be
fore breakfast. As I watched her, I
had to admire and envy her activity and
suppleness; she was In motion all over,
arms, leg3 and body she had to stoop,
reach and run, as the ball got away from
her.
"Something struck me. I picked up
my hat and got out of that office as If
sent word that my office was on fire. I
went to the nearest toy shop and paid
4a dime for a rubber ball. At night I
went Into our bathroom and played ball
on the tiled floor. In tho morning I got
up and played ball, just as I had seen
